AutoIndex introduces learned representation programs for retrieval systems

AutoIndex is introduced as a system for learning "representation programs" for retrieval. The idea is that a corpus is not just indexed; it is transformed by an executable program that decides how documents are represented to the search engine.
The diagram shows an iterative loop:
- A current program constructs the index.
- An analysis agent inspects failures under that index.
- A code agent synthesizes candidate updates.
- A selection step keeps only improvements and repeats.
The authors argue this points to a broader category of research: AI systems that optimize the executable programs around them, not just the model weights inside them.
